Casting

The cast list of the film comprises of Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor and Boman Irani. Hirani wanted Shahrukh Khan to play the main lead in the film, but that didn't happen and Aamir stepped in instead.Kajol was also supposed to play another lead in the film but turned it down as she was busy shooting for Karan Johar's My Name is Khan. The role went to Kareena Kapoor, who had a long time desire of working with Aamir.Kajol will however make a cameo appearance.Ironically Kareena was the initial choice for the role played by Kajol in Johar's film.

R. Madhavan joined the cast and was asked by the director to lose weight for his part along with the other two leading men. He said "It’s not about looking thinner or younger. All three of us need to look convincing as IIT students. How we choose to do so has been left to us".Actor Aamir Khan had to do the same and reportedly lost 8 kgs of weight and shed muscles which he had acquired for his previous film Ghajini.Mona Singh of Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin was roped in to play a role created specifically for the movie only.Newcomer Rahul Kumar has been signed for playing a small part in the film.
